Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

I couldn’t think of a title for this post, so came up with this little trivia nugget. “Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a famously long and bizarre sentence of proper English that is comprised of only one word. Seems pretty fitting for our show in Buffalo. 

We played in a cool venue today, the home of the Buffalo Sabres. I’m pretty sure if I lived in a big hockey town I would be a big hockey fan. The venue gave us Sabres jerseys. The Sabres are now my new favorite NHL team. I mean, no other team has given me a jersey. I will wear my jersey with pride. 

One of our favorite things about this new era of touring is how we’ll get together and read the Bible and pray together before the show. Tonight we watched a clip from The Chosen series then prayed for the show. 

Good show tonight. We’ve kept the changes we made in Greensboro and it’s been going well. Mac does this great bit towards the end of the set where he says “Man it’s a shame we’re doing a short set, so we can’t play all your favorite songs. Songs like..” Then he’ll launch into a chorus of “Love Song.” “It’s a shame we can’t do songs like…” And then we’ll do a little snippet of “I’ve Always Loved You.” It’s a great way to let people hear at least a little bit of a few more songs. 

One good thing about being the first band to play is that you’re done early. Tonight we took advantage of that and walked down the street for dinner at a cool restaurant called Southern Tier Brewing Company. 

Another cool thing about playing early is we were able to come back and hang out on the bus. Several of us watched the Bono and Edge: A Sort of Homecoming documentary with David Letterman. It was really great. We followed that up with some of the Beatles: Get Back documentary. Great way to end the day.
